FALSE LAYER SYNDROME IN A COMMERCIAL LAYER FLOCK ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS VIRUS VARIANT

False Layer Syndrome is a permanent condition that prevents hens from laying eggs as a consequence of early infectious bronchitis (IB) virus infection. Cystic oviduct associated with the reduced peak of egg production in apparently healthy layer flock was diagnosed. Considering the flock history...

description False Layer Syndrome is a permanent condition that prevents hens from laying eggs as a consequence of early infectious bronchitis (IB) virus infection. Cystic oviduct associated with the reduced peak of egg production in apparently healthy layer flock was diagnosed. Considering the flock history different viral and bacteriological tests were done. Any evidence of bacterial infection was not found. IB virus (IBV) was detected in caecal tonsil samples, suggesting early IB virus infection, an isolated virus phylogenetically belonging to the Variant 2 genotype. However, it is the first report of a Variant 2 genotype causing cystic oviducts in Iran, complementary studies are needed to investigate the pathogenicity of these viruses for oviduct and their ability to develop cystic oviducts.
